Tarku issues an update on its exploration activities in Abitibi, Quebec

 MONTREAL, November 29, 2018. Tarku Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: TKU) (the "Company" or "Tarku") is pleased to provide an update on the progress made in exploration on its 100% owned Admiral project in the Matagami area, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. New drilling targets have been identified on the project and Tarku management is evaluating the possibility of completing a drilling campaign in the first quarter of 2019.

The gold potential of the Matagami sector

Since the first mineral discoveries made in 1957, the Matagami mining camp is  recognized worldwide for its zinc-rich volcanogenic massif sulphide (VMS) deposits. The development and construction of the region's mining infrastructure has been primarily used to produce zinc concentrate.

Tarku owns 3 projects (including the Admiral project) totaling 223 mining titles centered on regional faults including ductile shear of the Waswanipi River (RWSZ), a favourable setting for orogenic gold mineralization associated with alkaline rocks and porphyry intrusions. Tarku interprets this geological context as being similar to the Sunday Lake regional fault, host of the Detour Lake Mine or the Kirkland Lake Mining Camp. Tarku’s management believes strongly that the gold potential of the Matagami sector has been undervalued and uses today modern geological models and exploration techniques to aid in the discovery of gold mineralization.

New Gold Targets on the Admiral project

The Admiral project, 100% owned by Tarku, is located west of Lake Olga (see www.tarkuresources.com). It consists of 29 claims (1,612 ha) overlying the convergence of the Rivière Waswanipi (RWSZ) and Lac Olga (LOSZ) shear zones, which contains the Lac Olga Ouest gold showing (5.9 g/t Au, grab sample, GM 49140) and Goldcorp’s high-grade deposit Indice Principal zone Olga (14.75 g/t Au, 1.14% Cu and 10.3 g/t Ag over 1.50 m, GM 50632).

In May 2018, Tarku completed a 294 line-km high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetic survey over the entire Admiral Project. Flight lines were surveyed at a 100-metre spacing and was conducted by Prospectair (Gatineau, Quebec) and Dynamic Discovery Geoscience (Ottawa, Ontario) to improve current interpretations of the mineralized systems and identify new gold targets.

The survey demonstrated a previously unrecognised structural complexity and revealed the presence of numerous secondary structures and major folds in a 1 to 1.5 km wide corridor bordered to the north and south by the two major shears RWSZ and LOSZ (see FIGURE 1). The interpreted data identifies 6 priority drilling targets defined by the intersection of structures, the axial planes of folds, historical electromagnetic Input anomalies and by a non-magnetic signal or low magnetic features which may represent silica-tourmaline alteration zones as observed at the Indice Principal zone Olga deposit.

Tarku is now evaluating the possibility of completing a drilling campaign during winter 2019 to test these new gold targets.

The Guercheville project

Tarku also wishes to announce that, following careful analysis of results of the 11 drill-hole program completed on the Guercheville project (see news release June 14, 2018),  it will not pursue the option to acquire a 50% interest in the project, located 50 kilometers southwest of Chapais in the territory of Eeyou Istchee James Bay. The drill program was designed to test the depth extensions of several gold and polymetallic surface showings and to investigate geophysical anomalies identified by SOQUEM over the past few years,

Tarku has withdrawn from any future obligations related to this agreement, including those already secured by SOQUEM during the 2018 winter drilling campaign.

Tarku and SOQUEM intersect 16.7 g/t Au over 1 m in a new horizon on the Guercheville Project

SASKATOON, June 14, 2018. Tarku Resources Ltd (TSX-V: TKU) (the “Company” or “Tarku”) is pleased to announce the results of a 2,469-metre drilling program on the Guercheville Project in Québec that confirmed the potential of the Fenton Lake West surface showing. The polymetallic project is situated 50 kilometres southwest of Chapais in the Eeyou Istchee–James Bay Territory.

Julien Davy, President and CEO of Tarku, commented: “In addition to the known surface showings, the strong potential of the Guercheville Project has been demonstrated once again by the discovery of new mineralized intersections, such as 16.7 g/t Au over 1 metre, in a previously unknown horizon.” He added, “This horizon is roughly 60 metres north of the Fenton Lake West showing where 19.2 g/t Au was obtained, suggesting several mineralized horizons or structures may be present in this area, now drilled for the first time.”

The aim of the 11-hole program is to test the depth extensions of several gold and polymetallic surface showings and to investigate some of the geophysical anomalies identified by SOQUEM over the past few years (FIGURE 1). All targets were explained by the presence of sulphides as disseminations or stringers or by sulphide-bearing quartz veins and veinlets, almost all hosted in schistose and carbonatized basalts. These occurrences are similar to the mineralization observed in the adjacent Fenton deposit of SOQUEM and Cartier Resources where an intersection of 29.6 g/t Au over 2 m at a depth of 550 metres below the surface was recently announced, thereby doubling the known extension of their deposit (see news release of June 5, 2018; www.ressourcescartier.com) (Tarku cautions that the mineralization of the Fenton deposit may not be indicative of the mineralization that may be identified on the Guercheville Project).   

Some slightly anomalous Au and Cu zones were also encountered in quartz diorite and anorthosite of the Rivière Opawica Complex in the same area as the Fenton Lake West showing (drill holes 1391-18-30 and 1391-18-31). The most significant results from the drilling program are presented in the table below:

* Intervals are expressed as downhole core lengths. True widths could not be determined using the information available. n/s: not significant.

The analytical results of the 9 other holes (1391-18-22 to 1391-18-29 and 1391-18-32) did not yield values indicative of significant mineralization.

Drilling program and QA/QC

Drilling was carried out by Forages HĂ©bert, based in Amos (QuĂ©bec), from January 29 to March 12, 2018. Eleven holes were drilled with azimuths ranging from N210 to N230 and dips from -45Âş to -55Âş. Hole depths ranged from 150 to 375 metres. A total of 1,012 samples were collected for 1,375 metres of sampled core, representing 56% of all drill core. The analyzed samples were sawed half-core samples of NQ diameter, with the other half saved for future reference. A total of 88 control samples consisting of standards and blanks were inserted in the sampling sequence, representing 9% of all samples analyzed. The core samples were sent to the laboratories of ALS Minerals in Val-d’Or (QuĂ©bec) and Vancouver (British Columbia) for gold analysis by fire assay with atomic absorption finish (ALS code: Au-AA23). All samples were also analyzed for a suite of metals and trace elements by the four-acid digestion ICP-AES method (33 elements, ALS code: ME-ICP61). Twenty (20) samples were sent for complete analysis (code ALS: CCP-PKG01) by combining the ICP-AES and ICP-MS methods for major and trace elements (codes ALS: ME-ICP06 and ME-MS81).

Guercheville Project

The Guercheville Project comprises 80 claims (4,385.64 ha) held 100% by SOQUEM and is located approximately 50 kilometres southwest of the town of Chapais, accessible year-round by forestry roads. As announced in the press release release of January 18, 2018, Tarku has the option to acquire, under certain conditions, a 50% interest in the property. According to the terms of the agreement, SOQUEM will be the operator of the work program in the first year and Tarku will have the opportunity to become the operator starting the second year.

The project has the potential to contain gold and base metal (Cu-Zn) mineralization similar to the adjacent Fenton deposit held 50% by SOQUEM and 50% by Cartier Resources. Gold concentrations in the Fenton deposit have been correlated with the presence of sulphide minerals, silica, sericite, chlorite and carbonate alteration, and areas of chargeability anomalies and magnetic highs within sheared pillow basalts, all of which have been observed on the Guercheville Project.

Tarku identifies new Gold Targets on the Apollo and Atlas Projects

SASKATOON, February 28, 2018. Tarku Resources Ltd (TSX.V: TKU) (the "Company" or "Tarku") is pleased to announce it has identified new gold-in-till zones using the preliminary results of exploration work on the Apollo and Atlas projects in the Matagami area of Québec. These results highlight a main area where samples with more than 15 gold grains are concentrated, in addition to three up-ice gold targets that may be the source of the gold grains. The three targets, Apollo XI, Apollo XII and Apollo XV, are considered priorities for the upcoming work phases. They correspond to magnetic highs associated with carbonate-hematite-magnetite alteration along or near the regional gold-bearing Rivière Waswanipi Shear Zone. Julien Davy, president of Tarku, commented “We are very encouraged by these results. They support our interpretation that the gold context of these projects is similar to those of the regional Sunday Lake Deformation Zone, host of the Detour Lake mine and Midland Exploration’s new discovery, the Vortex Zone”.

To validate historical gold results and to locate the source of gold mineralization, Tarku carried out a till, humus and rock sampling survey in autumn 2017. The gold grain counts for samples collected on both projects ranged from 1 to 47, with 18 samples containing more than 15 gold grains, which is above the regional background level.

gold targets

The results also reveal strong zoning and the presence of two areas with elevated gold grain counts (>15), with one particularly significant area in the south-central part of the Atlas Project. “From this area, it is possible to target the magnetic highs and alteration zones of Apollo XI, Apollo XII and Apollo XV which are located up ice of the last documented movement oriented N210º,” explained Tarku’s exploration manager, Benoit Lafrance. “These observations agree with our exploration model based on orogenic mineralization associated with alkaline rocks and porphyry intrusions.”     

“We acquired the Apollo and Atlas projects based on several points of geological interests. These include information provided by the most recent mapping of the area and historical results that identified gold grains in glacial deposits,” commented Julien Davy, president of Tarku. “The results revealed an area with high numbers of gold grains, which allowed us to concentrate our exploration efforts on specific zones along the Rivière Waswanipi Shear Zone and other promising contacts over a distance of more than 19 kilometres.”

Gold grain counting was done by optical microscope on coarse till fractions (> 50μ) and by scanning electron microscope (SEM) on fine till fractions (< 50μ) recovered by the ARTGold™ method (Advanced Recovery Techonology for Gold), an exclusive technology developed by IOS Service Géoscientifiques of Chicoutimi. The ground and helicopter-supported survey of November 2017 yielded 81 till and humus samples providing good coverage of both projects. The final results of the gold grain counts, the metal assays on fine fractions, the pebble counts, and the humus assays are expected over the next few months.    

Apollo and Atlas Projects

Using an innovative approach based on exploration models that differ from the traditional approach for this area, Tarku has acquired a large land position with strong potential for gold in the Matagami base metal camp, along the northern margin of the geological Abitibi Subprovince.

The Apollo Project, 100% owned by Tarku, is adjacent to the north of the Atlas Project. It consists of 105 claims (5,550 ha) centred on the Rivière Waswanipi ductile shear zone. This regional structure is characterized by the presence of alkaline rocks, polygenic conglomerates (Timiskaming type) and porphyry intrusions bearing anomalous gold values on the order of hundreds of parts per billion (GM 52712). This corridor, altered to carbonate-hematite-magnetite, contains the Rivière Waswanipi gold showing (2.36 g/t Au over 1 m; GM 51193) hosted in a porphyritic dyke and tuffs altered to pyrite-fuchsite. Collectively, these metallotects present a favourable setting for orogenic gold mineralization associated with alkaline rocks and porphyry intrusions, which Tarku interprets as being similar to those of the regional Sunday Lake Fault, host of the Detour Lake mine. Tarku cautions that the mineralization at the Detour Lake mine or at the Vortex Zone may not be indicative of the mineralization that may be identified on the Company’s Matagami projects and is used as a conceptual exploration model only.

The Atlas Project, 100% owned by Tarku, lies south of the Apollo Project. It consists of 89 claims (4,870 ha) characterized by a volcanic sequence with facies and geochemical affinities similar to those of the Bousquet Formation in the southern Abitibi (host to the Au-Zn-Cu-Ag LaRonde mine). The volcanic sequence is in contact with sedimentary rocks and is affected by aluminous sericite-chloritoid alteration. These observations are favourable indicators for the presence of gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization (Au-Ag-Cu-Zn).  Tarku cautions that the mineralization at the LaRonde mine may not be indicative of the mineralization that may be identified on the Company’s Matagami projects and is used as a conceptual exploration model only.

Tarku and SOQUEM Commence Drilling High Grade Gold Showings on the Guercheville Project, Quebec

SASKATOON, February 6, 2018. Tarku Resources Ltd (TSX-V: TKU) (the “Company” or “Tarku”) is pleased to announce the start of a 12 hole drill program totalling 2,555 meters on the Guercheville project, located adjacent to the Fenton deposit. The purpose is to follow up on the gold and polymetallic surface showings and to test specific areas of chargeability anomalies and magnetic highs that have been identified by SOQUEM over the past few years. The project is located roughly 50 kilometres southwest of the town of Chapais in the Eeyou Istchee– James Bay territory, Québec.

Julien Davy, President of Tarku, commented: “Recent drilling results published by Cartier Resources on the adjacent Fenton project (25 m @ 2.1 g/t Au; see press release from Cartier Resources published on January 31, 2018) are very encouraging and management thinks that mineralization associated with geophysical anomalies extend to the Guercheville project. This highlights the strong potential for discovery”. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Guercheville project.

Several gold and polymetallic showings have been identified in different parts of the Guercheville Project in the form of sulphide-bearing quartz veins or veinlets and disseminated sulphides, similar to the Fenton deposit (Figure 1). Their spatial distribution suggests the presence of multiple prospective horizons, indicating a robust mineralizing system. The drilling program aims to follow up some of these showings at depth and laterally including:

  • Clikendish showing: 124 g/t Au (grab sample) and 20.7 g/t Au over 0.5 m (channel sample);
  • Lac Fenton West showing: 19.17 g/t Au (grab sample);
  • 42 g/t Au, 2.45% Zn (grab sample);
  • 2 g/t Au, 20.8% Zn (grab sample);
  • 9 g/t Au, 0.4% Cu (grab sample).

The property is wholly-owned by SOQUEM and Tarku has an option to acquire a 50% interest in the project (see TKU news release January 18th, 2018). Under the terms of the agreement, SOQUEM will be the operator of the work program during the first year and Tarku will have the opportunity to become operator starting the second year.

Tarku signs an option agreement with SOQUEM on the Guercheville Project

SASKATOON, SASKATCHAWAN - Tarku Resources Ltd (TSX VENTURE:TKU) (the "Company" or "Tarku") is pleased to announce the signing of an option and joint venture agreement with SOQUEM Inc. (SOQUEM) to acquire 50% of the Guercheville Project. The project is located roughly 50 kilometres southwest of the town of Chapais in the Eeyou Istchee- James Bay territory, and is easily accessed by a network of forestry roads. The Guercheville Project comprises 80 claims totalling 4,385.64 hectares and has the potential to host gold and polymetallic mineralization similar to that found in the Fenton deposit adjacent to the Project.

According to the terms of the option agreement signed on January 15, 2018 (the "Effective Date"), Tarku has the option to acquire a 50% interest in the Guercheville Project by incurring $2,000,000 in exploration work over a period of three (3) years and by making payments according to the following schedule: (i) an amount of $350,000 by the first anniversary of the Effective Date; (ii) an additional amount of $650,000 by the second anniversary of the Effective Date; and (iii) an additional amount of $1,000,000 by the third anniversary of the Effective Date. Upon acquisition of the 50% interest, SOQUEM and Tarku will form a joint venture.

Julien Davey, President of Tarku, commented: "The Guercheville Project strategically strengthens Tarku's position in the northern Abitibi region, the Company's main area of focus. Reaching the agreement with a well-respected partner will diversify Tarku's portfolio by including a drill-ready project with strong discovery potential. The agreement also allows Tarku to immediately participate in SOQUEM's 12-hole (2,555 m) drilling program scheduled to start in late January. The aim is to follow up on the main discovery showings at surface and to test some of the areas of chargeability anomalies and magnetic highs that have been identified over the past few years."

SOQUEM, a subsidiary of Ressources Québec and a major player in mineral exploration in Québec, will be the operator of the work program during the first year and Tarku will have the opportunity to become operator starting the second year.

Guercheville Project

The Guercheville Project comprises 80 claims (4,385.64 ha) held 100% by SOQUEM and is located approximately 50 kilometres southwest of the town of Chapais, accessible year-round by forestry roads. The Project is adjacent to the Fenton gold deposit (historical resources* of 426,173 metric tons grading 4.66 g/t Au; assessment report GM 58665), which is also held by SOQUEM, under option to Cartier Resources. The gold concentrations in the Fenton deposit are associated with pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, and with silica, sericite, chlorite and carbonate alteration in sheared pillow basalts of the Obatogamau Formation. The mineralization is also associated with areas of chargeability anomalies and magnetic highs. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Guercheville project.

Several gold and polymetallic showings have been identified in different parts of the Guercheville Project in the form of sulphide-bearing quartz veins or veinlets and disseminated sulphides, similar to the Fenton deposit. Their spatial distribution suggests the presence of multiple prospective horizons, indicating a robust mineralizing system. Intervals from the main showings include the following:

  • Doigt showing: 90 g/t Au, 212 g/t Ag and 1.8% Zn (grab sample) and 21.7 g/t Au, 64.5 g/t Ag and 0.4% Zn over 1 m (channel sample);
  • Clikendish showing: 124 g/t Au (grab sample) and 20.7 g/t Au over 0.5 m (channel sample);
  • Lac Fenton West showing: 19.17 g/t Au (grab sample);
  • Drill hole 1391-16-12: 4.8 g/t Au over 7.8 m including 17 g/t Au over 2 m;
  • Drill hole 1391-17-20: 356 g/t Au and 0.9% Cu over 0.6 m.

* Estimate performed in 2000 by Mr. Denis Chénard, Eng. of Datac Géo-Conseil Enrg. on behalf of Boréal Exploration using 73 holes drilled on the three main zones of the Fenton gold deposit. The estimation used a lower cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t Au and a minimum true thickness of 1.0 m. The qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the resources covered by the estimate as compliant under National Instrument 43-101. The issuer does not consider the resources covered by the estimate as current mineral resources.
